Wheel Opinions Needed Okay, so I have finally narrowed down my decision for wheels. I was pretty set on 15" Konig Heliums for a while, but then I saw that I could get 17" REV wheels for cheaper. So now I'm stuck. These wheels will be going on a black ep3. Any opinions would be appreciated.
15" Konig Helium bronze
17" REV model 6 bronze
17" REV model 7 black
15" Konig Helium bronze
17" REV model 6 bronze
17" REV model 7 black

model 7 or helium. The other one just doesn't look right. I would go with the heliums cause the 17s look too big for that car.

15s 15s 15s 15s 15s ......... ect ect ect...
you will notice a difference in performace betweent he 17s and 15s so How much performance are you willing to lose in the name of looks?
Just my opinion

Rep Power: 481 Let me refer you to this thread about the Konig Heliums. Granted, they moron was probably driving like a fckgwing idiot to do that, but they look a little more fragile than the other two rims you're looking at. If I were you, I'd go with the REV model 7s, but if you can, get them in 16s.

Rep Power: 481 Um, I've run up against a curb pretty damned hard with my Tenzo-R Passion5s and I never had that problem. Got some hella road rash from the curb from slamming against it and then running up on it. Never bent or broke a thing. The spokes and center on the Heliums just look hella weak.

Rep Power: 0 yea, im gonna go with the heliums. The model 6s are light rims (16lbs) so i don't think they would have made my car that much slower. I've seen that thread before with the heliums. I remember the original one from another message board that said he hit a curb going 25-40 mph. I don't think I'm dumb enough to go into a curb at 40mph. thanks for the advice. everyone

Rep Power: 528 Just so you know, the Heliums are 15" and you made them look like 17"s on your chop, so they're not going to look like that.
